Peripheral Neuropathy 7/26/2020 (updated)

Ugh, the last episode ended only two days ago and it’s starting up again in the other foot. I can feel the stabbing pain now on the insole of my right foot. Seriously, the pain just stopped two days ago in my left foot and it’s back already. I thought I was lucky that that pain stayed away for many weeks. I want to go out and walk for a bit but the blister in my right foot and this low level shortness-of-breath is making things difficult.

Speaking of the blister, it was still bleeding/leaking this morning, I’ve been using about four layers of gauze but it’s seeping through all of that every 8-10 hours. I want to switch to an island dressing that is adhesive but not too absorbent (Telfa), but worried that the fluids will leak out everything in my socks/shoes.

Crap! It looks like my left foot is acting up too, even while the pain is getting worse in my right foot. This is my worst case scenario, that both feet are experiencing neuropathy pain at the same time. It even appears that there are two pain sites in my left foot so I’m really getting three sharp jabs instead of just one. Great!

I just took two more Tylenol pills. I don’t think there is any way i can sleep tonight. Since all the pain sites are pretty recent, the pain intensity is just going to get worse.
